If you love stories about old money and times which are truly past, then this film is for you. Drew Barrymore absolutely nails the part of "Little Edie"- A true love story and one that is riveting and fascinating. The story is of a mother and daughter who live in deplorable conditions in what was once a Long Island high society mansion. The mother and daughter are loving, and bound by a strong -even if skewed- connection.This is a bit of a story within a story, as the true life drama was filmed for a documentary called Grey Gardens back in the 1970's- This HBO film depicts the life of the duo during the filming - before and after. Also brings in the family tie of the "Edie's" being related to Jackie Bouvier Kennedy Onassis. Great film- Simply loved it.

What a treat to find this remaster of an old Broadway musical. My sister searched for this musical forever without any luck. I was thrilled to purchase it so that she and her husband could re-live the music from a show which they had been in during their high school musical days of the early 1960's. Great copy!
